Coincidence, or what may very well be the natural order of the universe, can sometimes be a fascinating thing. Within a week or so of getting the Aerus Lux 6000, minus the electric hose, Sidekick*, combination dusting/upholstery tool*, and baby crevice tool*, I happened upon an auction selling an electric hose, combination dusting/upholstery tool, and after filter, all in unused condition, and all to match the Lux 6000**, for a most agreeable price. Naturally, I ordered it.
What do you think I was doing when the mail carrier came up the driveway with a small box? Vacuuming the carpet with the Lux 6000, of course! What do you think I did once I opened the box? You'd be quite wrong if you thought I did anything other than connect up the hose, find a Sidekick, and vacuum off the sofas!
Everything was quite intact, and obviously never used...there wasn't a single scratch or speck of dirt to be seen. Even better, my Aerus Lux 6000 is fully functional, as it was intended when it was released. One of these days, I'll probably happen upon an exact-matching Sidekick and baby crevice tool, and wouldn't it be great if they were included with an Electrolux Lux 4000 or the other version of the Aerus Lux 6000? I know I said that I had to stop collecting, but if I had the chance to get one or both of these, I'd be sorely tempted.

One can see the Sidekick tracks on the sofa. This Sidekick is borrowed from the white/grey/red Epic 3500.
Machine end. Exactly the same as the Style R hose end, but this only has two prongs/pins.

The Aerus Lux 6000 is really a deluxe model that stands a cut above the rest, I must say. Naturally, this goes for the other Aerus Lux 6000 and the Electrolux Lux 4000 too. I wish these had never been discontinued.
*I do happen to have numerous extras of all these attachments...it's just that, from a purist/pedantic/collector perspective, they aren't a strict white and pale blue color match for the Lux 6000.
**Further on the subject of matching, this hose and combo tool are the exact white and pale blue of the Lux 6000, but they have the "Electrolux" logo stamped on them, leading me to believe they might have come with the Electrolux Lux 4000. As far as I know, after the company changed its name to "Aerus", the attachments and hose handles have a blank space where the "Electrolux" used to be. Why can't they put "Aerus" there?
UPDATE 12-29-13: In fact, after looking at my friend's Aerus Lux Classic, I can confirm that the hose handle and attachments merely have a blank space in place of the former "Electrolux".
